Pitcairn Steading And Farmhouse

Pitcairn Steading and Farmhouse, dated 1865 and likely incorporating earlier elements, is a single and two-storey, five-bay gabled farm steading arranged in linked parallel ranges around an open courtyard, which is now covered, with an additional range to the west that adjoins to the north. The building is constructed from coursed and random whinstone rubble with dressed quoins, featuring chamfered arrises and some ashlar-coped skews.

The east range includes a cartshed and granary, with a roof partly covered in grey slates and partly in sheet metal. The south elevation is symmetrical, featuring a gabled cart arch with a panelled datestone at the center. To the right, there is a bay with a timber door, flanked by windows, and another window further to the right. The outer right gabled bay has a door to the left. To the left of center, there is a door with flanking windows and a converted garage door beyond, while the outer left bay features a two-storey gable end of the grain store.

On the west elevation, there are four cart arches below two small windows, with a window and door to the left beneath a hayloft door that has a dormer head breaking the eaves, adjoining a further low range to the northwest. The courtyard is largely enclosed, but the inner elevation of the west range has a blinded door below a stone with a carved anchor dated 1820. The west range cattle courts have grey slate roofs, with the south elevation featuring a window to the outer right. The west elevation has a blinded door at the center and a buttress to the left. The east elevation has an advanced blank gable with a truncated stack to the left, a lower slightly advanced finialled blank gable to the right, and cattle courts at the center with altered entrances, adjoining a further low range to the northeast.

The farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay structure with harled walls and painted stone margins. The south elevation has a door at the center on the ground floor, with windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor. It features a slated roof with coped ashlar stacks and ashlar coped skews. The boundary walls are made of coped rubble.
